Our Trip To Faroe Islands
We traveled to the Faroe Islands on our own, without the children. It was a conscious decision – they were still very young at the time, unable to walk long distances, and bringing a stroller would have turned the trip into more of a nightmare than a vacation. We already knew that the terrain would not be particularly family-friendly: hiking routes often lead only across fields, muddy and uneven, without any proper paths. Add fog, rain, and constantly changing weather, and it was clear that it was not yet the ideal destination for a family trip.
We explored the islands by car. It gave us the freedom to discover Vágar, Streymoy, Eysturoy, Borðoy, and Viðoy. The tunnels here are nothing like those back home – they are raw passages carved through the rock, sometimes with only a single lane. We had hoped to visit Mykines, home to the largest puffin colony in the Faroes, but the weather did not allow it. Even so, we were fortunate enough to spot a few of these beautiful birds during our hikes. Sheep, on the other hand, were everywhere.
